Garth Lodge, 9 Tivoli Terrace South, Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin, A96PR62, Ireland

Garth Lodge is an exceptionally handsome detached villa-style residence, enjoying remarkable privacy thanks to its mature, leafy perimeter. Tucked away on a quiet one-way road on the fringes of Dun Laoghaire, the property is just a short stroll from the charming boutique villages of Monkstown and Glasthule. Beautifully appointed and well balanced throughout, the accommodation retains many of the original period features for which these homes are so highly sought after. The appeal is further enhanced by an idyllic south-facing rear garden and generous off-street parking to the front.

Granite steps rise to the elegant hall door, crowned by a large fanlight that floods the entrance with natural light. Inside, a gracious entrance hall sets the tone, with light streaming through a substantial return window and glazed doors from the garden room below. On either side of the hall lie two superbly proportioned reception rooms, both featuring tall ceilings adorned with centre roses and ornate coving. Picture rails, dado rails and striking marble fireplaces complete these refined and inviting spaces. Upstairs, the principal bedroom is generously sized, accompanied on this level by a shower room and a single bedroom. The return below leads to two further spacious double bedrooms, each enjoying a bright south-facing aspect. A standout feature of the home is the impressive garden room at this level, a wonderful addition that provides an expansive space ideal for family gatherings and entertaining. At garden level, the country-style kitchen seamlessly connects living and dining areas, creating a warm and sociable heart to the home. A large 'bootility' room offers excellent practical space, and a family bathroom completes the accommodation on this floor.

To the front, a gravel forecourt provides ample off-street parking and is bordered by an abundance of mature planting, ensuring privacy. Pedestrian side access leads to the glorious south-facing rear garden, where two patio areas are perfectly arranged for outdoor dining and relaxation. A generous lawn is framed by a curated selection of plants and trees, while sections of the original granite boundary wall remain visible along the perimeter, adding further character and charm.
